SimCity gets promised traffic congestion patch

Maxis has issued a new patch for SimCity with some much-discussed fixes for traffic congestion. As well as helping clear your streets, the patch helps emergency vehicles make it to their targets, ensures all buildings can be demolished, and adds some performance improvements for ageing rigs. Plus, a new server – Asia 2 – launches today. Full patch notes are available on the EA forums. Despite its troubled launch, SimCity made 1.1 million sales.
